It's the "A Very Special Episode" Fall Preview issue!

Posting the upcoming schedule for my "A Very Special Episode" column worked well when I tried it back in March, since a lot of you had good suggestions for future columns. Tomorrow we'll post the 10th VSE, covering The Sopranos' "Bust Out,"and then I'll be ready to move on to the next group of 10, which will take us into December. Here's the program:

July 29thThe Larry Sanders Show, "Out Of The Loop"

August 12thWagon Train, "The Gus Mason Story"

August 26thM*A*S*H*, "The Interview"

September 9thArrested Development, "Good Grief"

September 23rdThe Brady Bunch, "Dough Re Mi"

October 7thHomicide: Life On The Streets, "A Doll's Eyes"

October 21stThe Outer Limits, "The Man Who Was Never Born"

November 4thThe Muppet Show, "Steve Martin"

November 18thNorthern Exposure, "Thanksgiving"

December 2ndAll In The Family, "Gloria Discovers Women's Lib"

I also know what the last two episodes of the year will be, but since they're a little unusual, I'm going to keep those under wraps until they post.

Just as a reminder: this column isn't intended as a list of the greatest television episodes of all time (or even the greatest episodes of their respective series), but as a way to talk about aspects of TV history and TV aesthetics, using these episodes as case studies. So bearing that in mind, the floor is now open for more suggestions.
